1. Brooklinen's award-winning hypoallergenic down alternative pillow made with an allergy-friendly mircofiber fill and a 100% cotton sateen shell that's silky soft to the touch. The overall feel feels like a normal down pillow, but it won't trigger any coughing, congestion, or tightness.
This pillow is also vegan and eco-consciously made.
Promising reviews: "I bought these to replace down pillows that were getting old. I also discovered that the down pillows have been a source of my allergies. Not only are the down alternatives extremely comfortable but they’ve helped mitigate the allergy issue. Thanks Brooklinen!" —English P.
"I recently bought this pillow because I was waking up every morning with a stiff neck and a migraine. The first night I tried this pillow I instantly fell asleep and didn’t move all night long. I was originally worried about it being too soft but even the plush pillow allows your head to sink in while still supporting it. I’ve been waking up feeling refreshed and migraine-free ever since!" —Kathryn H.

2. An air purifier with a HEPA filter to trap all the pet dander, dust, and cleanse the air in your home. If you can avoid worrying about and dealing with allergies while relaxing at home, it should *definitely* be at the top of your to-do list. This makes it easy! Reviewers say it also does a great job getting rid of funky smells, too.
Promising reviews: "I've had this purifier for five days and I can already tell a huge difference in my allergy and sinus issues. My right nostril is constantly clogged and by the second day of running this I could finally breathe through both nostrils upon waking! There is a noticeable difference in the air when I walk into my bedroom where I keep the Levoit filter from the rest of my home. No more musty smell. If you have any sort of allergy or breathing problem I highly recommend this. I was going to buy the germ guard purifier but after reading about the amazing customer service this company has I decided to buy this and so far it's been incredible." —Daniel Dziedzic
"This product blows my mind. My husband cannot believe the improvement in my allergies and the reduction in minor illnesses since purchasing this product. We moved into new construction in a new region about six months ago. I began getting sick on what seemed like a semi-monthly timeline. Colds, upper respiratory, ears, eyes; you name it, I had it. Between new allergens and the construction, I was not getting better... I bought the twin pack and placed one in the kitchen below the air intake for our home and the other in our bedroom.... [Now] my husband no longer coughs or sneezes randomly throughout the night! And for the first time since moving I don't wake up with goopy eyes, sneezes, or pressure in my sinuses!" —meaghan morris
Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in black and white).
3. AND a silent portable car air purifier while you're at it. With the help of the included HEPA filter, it'll rid any allergens, odors, dander, and bacteria from the place you're in most second to your home.
Promising review: "I bought this for my wife so she can use it during her daily commute and I must say, she immediately fell in love with it due to its portability and how cute it looks. She suffers from allergies all year long and this came in handy, a lifesaver. I charged it as soon as I got it delivered and it resumed charging in the car. We both noticed a big difference on air quality during our short drive, since the car ceiling and carpet are falling apart and lint particles are everywhere. I'm 'wowed' to the point that I'm about to order one for myself and one for my daughter. This is an excellent air purifier despite the size. Will definitely recommend to my friends." —J#onan
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
4. An AC air filter for an extra layer in between you and the tiny micro allergens that try and enter your home through the vents. This easy-to-install filter captures particles like dust mites, pollen, lint, smoke (all the bad stuff, really) — which in turn makes for cleaner, better smelling air and less coughing, sneezing, and watery eyes. This is a must as the weather gets warmer and you'll have the AC blasting!
Promising reviews: "I have allergies, and these filter out the allergens very well. They will filter out most anything in the air. The package tells you the many kinds of allergens that it can filter out. I paid almost double for lesser quality filters at Home Depot. They were very easy to install with arrows pointing to the correct airflow. They can last up to three months before you have to change them." —Theodore C.
"These filters worked great! I have allergies that flair up during peak seasons and these filters have greatly improved my symptoms and air quality in our home. They are the right size and the exact same quality as filters I have purchased at our local stores." —Stephanie

Promising review: "I'm so happy with my purchase of the eucalyptus lavender pouches. I took one sniff and I swear I felt like my whole nasal and airway just cleared out lol, already have it hanging in the shower. Will be buying some more when these are dried out. Thank you!" —Laina
Get a set of three from Eucalyptus Blooms on Etsy for $11.99 (originally $15.99).
6. A Dyson stick vacuum because it has a HEPA filter that'll catch all the small dusty air particles that seem like they're out to get you. It's fan favorite cleaning machine that can detach from the body to help you hit all those tight spaces and... It's cordless.
Promising review: "This is worth the money (especially if you get it on sale). I have a cat and I have mild dander allergies, so I need to vacuum daily. It was cumbersome when I needed a corded vacuum, this has actually changed my life. I live in an apartment, and its super easy after mealtimes and when I get home or right before bed. Like a little handheld vacuum, but for the whole space. It's simple, light, easy to use and easy to clean. The attachments make it easy to get into just about every corner. Pay attention to the instructions for the wall mount (also a 100% life saver) as it shows you how to get it exactly right the first time. You won't be disappointed if you buy this." —Rachel
Get it from Amazon for $382+.
7. A reusable gel eye mask for soothing irritated eyes, puffiness, and migraines caused by allergies. Freeze it for the most relaxing, refreshing feeling ever!
By the way, you can microwave this eye mask too! Just pop it in for 20 seconds for a different kind of soothing sesh.
Promising reviews: "If my allergies are bothering me these are a godsend." —Jessica
"I have extreme issues with dry eye and allergies. During tree season, I literally want to scratch my eyes out, and cold (or ice packs) is the only thing that gives me relief. This is so much more comfortable and manageable than a bag of cubes or one of those ice gel packs from the chiropractor. I literally fell asleep with it on! And woke up with it still on. My eyes feel back to normal, and the dark circles actually look less than last night. " —Susan R. Ventura
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in eight colors).
8. A sinus steam inhaler to help with congestion, coughs, and sinus issues during allergy season. It's got adjustable steam control and reviewers say this helps clear things up as quick as in five minutes!
This steam inhaler comes with one soothing, scented VapoPad. While it's not needed for your steam therapy session, reviewers say it helps A LOT. You can get an additional six-pack of VapoPads for $8.97.
Promising reviews: "Like many, I [have] seasonal allergies and this early spring has been one of the worst for pollen. Along with prescription medication, I added this Vicks Sinus Steam Inhaler to my list of tools to combat those allergies...The steam is more of a mist, but it soothes the sinus cavity and gives immediate relief. While you can use tap water with this product, I chose to use distilled water to help the lifespan of the product and to avoid any deposit stains. It is simple to clean with a wet paper towel or cloth and its small size is easy to stow in a bathroom cabinet. Overall, I find this product to be helpful in soothing swollen sinuses and it really does help with my allergies." —Florence
"Now that I have allergies and all this extra mucus, I've been trying to get my sinuses under control. I bought the Vicks personal sinus steamer, recalling how I used to like the steam and looking at humidifiers talking about what water in the air does to allergens in the air. If that's true this seems like the perfect product. After using it for 2 weeks I must say that I'm happy and pleasantly surprised. My symptoms finally feel like they're under control. I still use Claritin but I don't even know if I still need to. For the first time in some time I don't feel the need to cough and spit out mucus. That's a small miracle to me. So yes, I highly recommend this and Vicks has been around forever." —Jonathan Sinclair
Get it from Amazon for $40.99.
9. A handheld mattress vacuum with a sanitizing UV light, designed specifically as an allergen vacuum that finds and eliminates 99% of bacteria, dust, and dander from fabric surfaces. Having this will ensure THE BEST night sleep ever — bye bye midnight sneezing!
And yep, it's got the HEPA filtration system I keep mentioning. It'll capture all the particles quickly and efficiently.
Promising reviews: "Wow! Nothing like I have ever seen. A must for those with allergies:) I [have] allergies due to dust among other things, so someone recommended Raycorp to me and so far after only two weeks I can really feel a difference... I was a bit surprised at the amount of debris the vacuum was able to pick up and the dust pic [pictured above] is from my bed sheets that had just been laundered and slept on for only one night!...The design is clean and is surprisingly light weight. The suction is very good and the UV light is neat... It is also easy to clean, so I definitely feel like I am getting a quality cleansing of dust and dirt every time. I feel like it is a solid investment in my health wellness as my sneezing and headaches have minimized since using the Raycom vacuum. Oh and the bonus is clean furniture and upholstery!" —primo navidad
"My girlfriend and I moved in almost a year ago. I have a Rottweiler and she is really allergic to him. At night she gets really congested and always wakes up even worse...We purchased the Raycorp vacuum in hopes it would help really clear the allergens so we wouldn’t have to wash our duvet cover every couple of days. The vacuum continuously picks up dust and things I can’t even see on the duvet cover. Her allergies have improved and we couldn’t be more happy with this purchase!" —BenZorn

Promising review: "As advertised and then some! I’ve [had] symptoms of COPD and environmental allergies for years and am not being over dramatic when I say every breath had become a struggle...Within hours of using this product I found myself breathing normally. The next morning the routine of sneezing and runny nose had disappeared. As an added bonus, the medication I’m taking for the tachycardia is working better probably owing to lessened inflammation....Highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with breathing issues due to allergies or COPD in general. I’ll never be without it and look forward to improved health with continued use. Even my dog’s allergy symptoms are improving. How wonderful it is to breathe without effort." —M. Alexander

P.S. it's soundproof too!
Promising reviews: "I had a little gap under my door. I was honestly just looking for a cheap DIY fix and BOOM I found this. I was having issues with a draft, bugs, and dust getting inside this has ELIMINATED it all. I'm so happy with this product! There's definitely enough material I even had a little extra for the vertical side's bottom corner." —R Alcorn
"I've not a bad thing to say about this! It helps with the noise, dust, and air. We have it on the front door of our business on a busy street.

This is an outside door to the bottom is exposed to cold and sometimes moisture...again the adhesive hasn't budged. We bought and installed this over SIX MONTHS AGO! —Health & Prescription Services

This vacuum is self-charging and comes with a charging base, as well as a remote control (batteries included), four side brushes, an AC power adapter, and a cleaning tool.
Promising reviews: "So we have had this or about a week. In the past I move all of my furniture, sweep and mop every week. I'm too embarrassed to say how many times I had to dump collection bin the first time I used this (4). It runs everyday because we have a dog and two cats and it is always full when it's done. It gets under nearly all of my furniture (we have a lot) and the corners. It even goes into the bathroom and cleans even my thick memory foam rugs seem no problem for her. We have an old house with uneven floors and large floor grate, it seems to handle it all with ease....In just a week we have already noticed that our allergies have improved. It is also very easy to set up and get going. You do not have to be tech savvy at all." —Amazon Customer
"After running Eufy for nearly two months now, I can confidently say I absolutely LOVE it! It is amazing on my hardwood floors. It picks up sooo much fine dust brought in by my two German Shepards! They shed year-round! And it’s super effective with pet hair! Wow! I use Eufy once a day for a little more than hour, emptying and cleaning the brushes out about three to four times during use. It seriously has been life-changing, keeping my floors cleaner than sweeping! Great purchase and I would highly recommend!!" —Jacqueline M

"Already on my second purchase! I love having a safe cleaning product that actually works and cutting down on the daily chemicals we are all exposed too. Love the smell of the grapefruit!...No smudging on windows and that sealed the deal for me. I've got a large front window and two toddlers that like to leave dirty hand marks and nose imprints on it. I couldn't drop the popular brand Windex because nothing else worked without leaving a cloud. I can now say, "goodbye ammonia"! Definitely recommend this product!" —rauchm404

18. A pet hair removal tool because there's no greater pain than being allergic to your fur baby — this guy will make sure their shedding does minimal damage to your sinuses.

Promising reviews: "OMG! What a life saver! This thing works so well I was amazed! I have a nine month old doodle who's not supposed to shed much but she's a puppy who hasn't yet blown out her puppy coat so her fur is EVERYWHERE making my allergies nuts! Even after I vacuum, you'd never know it because she sheds so much. Chom Chom to the rescue — it's my new fave household tool!" —Lena M. Morgan
"I have allergic reactions to dog hair and dander so imagine my surprise when we learned our new quarantine pup wasn’t hypoallergenic as we had thought. Cue a mad dash to buy every product under the sun to keep my allergies in check because from the moment she came home we were in love...Then enter the Chom Chom roller, the roller to end the need for any other roller. Gone are the days of stripping and sticking with a disposable lint roller. Gone are the days of dragging that red lint brush paddle over the furniture. And definitely gone are the days hauling out the vacuum just to zip away the excess dog fur on the couch. If you use it right— and I mean vigorously roll back and forth, up and down, to and from like your life depended on it— the Chom never fails...Truthfully, it picks up more than enough for me to be satisfied." —L. White
